Lubrication is crucial for turbochargers spinning at super - high speeds. Traditionally, engine oil has been used to lubricate turbocharger bearing systems. However, it has limitations like restricted mounting options (oil needs gravity - fed return or expensive scavenging systems), susceptibility to engine - wear contaminants, and risks of leakage and smoking. Comp Turbo's innovation led to the world's first production oil - less turbocharger! The patented CTR Oil - Less Turbochargers use a Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system with a high - quality non - channeling grease for lubrication. The Air - Cooled model has an internal air passage behind the compressor wheel for cooling instead of a water jacket. Without oil or water lines and with a Zerk fitting for easy servicing, the CTR Air - Cooled Triplex Ceramic Turbochargers are perfect for low, mid, or remote mount setups. These turbochargers feature a patented triple ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency. They offer a faster transient response than the industry - standard dual ball bearing system due to less friction loss, improving response times and power output. Our patented Triplex Ceramic bearing system is in a billet aluminum housing, making the turbochargers 5 to 12 pounds lighter on average. All our turbochargers are proudly made in the USA and feature the latest R - Line technology. The CTR 7/14 veined billet slim hub extended tip compressor wheel and CTR slim hub lightweight turbine wheel are part of our advanced rotor technology. Features include a Titanium Bullet Nose, full rebuildability/upgradability, an Anti - Surge Compressor Housing, CTR Compressor and Turbine Wheels, no need for oil and water lines, and flexible mounting in any orientation. The CTR - line compressor wheels are 7 - 14 vaned, with a small - diameter hub for more intake airflow and an extended tip for better efficiency at high pressure ratios. The R - line design can increase engine HP output by up to 15%. The CTR Turbine wheels have 25% lower inertia, a 30% higher flow capacity than the GT style, and minimal leaving losses, resulting in high turbine efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using your CTR3081E - 5858 Air - Cooled 1.0 Turbocharger is straightforward. First, install it in your preferred orientation as it can be mounted in any way. Since it doesn't need oil or water lines, the installation is less complicated. When starting your engine, the turbocharger will start working automatically as the engine runs. As for maintenance, use the Zerk fitting for easy servicing. Regularly check the Turbocharger for any signs of damage or wear. It's fully rebuildable and upgradeable, so if you notice any performance issues, you can get it serviced. Keep in mind that turbochargers are built to order and it takes 3 to 5 weeks to deliver, so plan your purchases accordingly.
